Wireless Media Access Controller (MiMAC) and Microchip Wireless Application Programming
Interface (MiApp), as described in Application Notes AN1283 and AN1284. A Quick Start Guide is
included in the software installation package that explains the installation and operation of the
demonstration program. The Quick Start Guide is available for download from the Microchip web
site http://www.microchip.com/wireless.
The MRF24J40 Radio Utility Driver Program provides design engineers a development and testing
utility program that operates on the PIC18 Explorer Board (DM183032) and for 16-bit and 32-bit
microcontroller development using the Explorer 16 Development Board (DM240001). The program
is available for download from the Microchip web site http://www.microchip.com/wireless , and
detailed information is given in the Application Note AN1192.
Operation
Programming and configuration options for the MRF24J40MC transceiver modules are provided
in the MRF24J40 IEEE Std 802.15.4 2.4 GHz RF Transceiver Data Sheet (DS39776) . Sample
source code is the best place to start. Refer to the compile options when enabling the
MRF24J40MC transceiver modules.
IMPORTANT
The MRF24J40MC module contains a power amplifier (PA) and low noise amplifier (LNA). It is impor-
tant that the MRF24J40 be configured to control the PA and LNA. Refer to Section 4.2 External PA/
LNA Control in the MRF24J40 IEEE 802.15.4 2.4 GHz RF Transceiver Data Sheet (DS39776).
When using the sample source code, refer to the compile options to enable the PA and LNA.
CAUTION
Voltage and current to the MRF24J40MC PICtail?/PICtail Plus Daughter Board should be in the
range of 2.7V – 3.6V and capable of supplying 120 mA. Ensure that the daughter board is plugged
into a development/demonstration board that meets this power requirement; otherwise, damage to
the MRF24J40 may occur.

Power Disconnect/Current Measure jumpers (JP1/JP2) – Two 2-pin headers are connected in
parallel. A shunt on one of the two headers connects power to the MRF24J40MC module. A
current meter can be placed on the open header and when the shunt is removed from the
opposite header, current consumption can be measured without interrupting power. A useful
cable that can be connected to the 2-pin header and current meter, using banana plugs, is the
XLP Current Measurement Cable (AC002023).
INT2 Jumper (JP3) – For the PIC18 Explorer Board, jumpering JP3 with a shunt allows the
connection of RA5 to RB2/INT2 and enables push-button switch S2 to trigger an interrupt.
